Went to an auction a few weeks back, bid on a Krag, won the bid, and the auction company mixed up the rifles!! Well, finally got sorted out and I picked up rifle today. Will post pictures later. Should do a before and after but the old girl is so dirty, I wouldn't know where to start. She is well worn, looks like honest wear though, cartouches are intact, and no major problems are evident. Bore is dark and can't tell much more than that because it appears to be full of cosmoline and the stock is impregnated with cosmoline. Serial # puts manufacture at 1900 but stock cartouche is 1902. Started work tonight on cleaning bore. More to follow.
